USC has been in the news because of its pursuit of Penn State running back Silas Redd, who is expected to visit the campus this weekend. But while he would be a step forward, the Trojans took a huge step back with what could be a season-ending injury to defensive end Devon Kennard.

A versatile defensive player, Kennard played linebacker as a freshman, middle linebacker as a sophomore and end as a junior, the Los Angeles Times reports. It is unclear how long he could be out, but estimates are anywhere from two to three months.

It would not be his first bout with injuries. Kennard has had three surgeries over the past four years—on his ACL, his thumb and his hip, according to ESPNLA.
